EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Awkward Ada" showcases the artistic brilliance of John Hassall, a renowned illustrator from the early twentieth century. This vibrant colour lithograph, now part of a private collection, captures a delightful scene from Six and Twenty Boys and Girls, a publication by Blackie & Son Limited. In this whimsical illustration, we are transported to an era filled with innocence and childhood mischief. Awkward Ada, portrayed as an endearing little girl with Asian ethnicity, finds herself in quite the predicament. Her clumsiness has caused her to collide with a waiter or waitress who is adorned in an overall apron. Amidst the chaos that ensues after their accidental encounter, crockery and dishes are sent flying through the air. The vivid colours bring life to this playful moment frozen in time - plates spinning mid-air while food supplies scatter across the floor. Hassall's attention to detail shines through his masterful use of lithography. Each stroke adds depth and character to every element within the composition. From Ada's innocent expression to the intricate patterns on her dress and surroundings – it all comes together harmoniously. This charming artwork not only reflects British culture but also offers us a glimpse into European society during that period. It serves as a testament to Hassall's talent for capturing moments of joyous chaos amidst everyday life – reminding us that even accidents can be beautiful when viewed through an artist's eyes.
